I have had a metallic and slimy kind of taste in my mouth. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metallic Tastes: You may have this taste as a side effect of medications you may be taking--specifically antibiotics. It can also be caused by dehydration. Less likely causes would be cystic fibrosis or accidental poisoning. See your physician if this persists.
